00:28¡SuscrĂbete al canal!
00:31Life seldom unfolds exactly as we wish it
00:36There are shocks and disappointments
00:40Unwelcome revelations bring a light we can't deny
00:46There are new things and we fear them
00:49There are hard things and they must be done
00:54Sometimes we have no choice
00:56And sometimes choice is imposed
00:59Upon us
01:00And the questions pound
01:04Like hammers
01:05What lies beyond this
01:09Where will we decide
01:11To go
01:15Nice to see you putting that fall behind you Mr. Bucknall
01:18You're doing very well on those no crutches
01:20I'm recovering at a rate of knots
01:22Can I interest you in yoga lessons?
01:25Is that how you did it?
01:27My son's running Joel
01:29He's inside putting up a poster
01:31Hot off the plane from a year in India
01:33Oh of course I remember him leaving
01:36Joel welcome home I've been wondering where your wanderings took you
01:40Well I started out in Bombay and then I worked my way right up to Ladakh near Tibet
01:44And then I went to an ashram in Baranasi for a few months
01:47Baranasi on the banks of the Ganges
01:49And now I'm back on the banks of the Thames
01:51There's no place like home
01:53Take a leaflet
01:54Yoga and meditation
01:56I'm a very busy woman but I shall
02:00I haven't got a clue how this is supposed to work
02:03The colours have all got to be mixed up for the Easter egg hunt
02:06But they've got to be all separated out first
02:10Can I hear one?
02:13Oh come on
02:13Better check to see how they've gone stale
02:15Rocha
02:20I pressed ganged Cyril into putting up the bunting
02:24That isn't very public spirited
02:27Taking chocolate out of the mouths of children
02:30It's outrageous
02:33Fair days pay for a fair day's work
02:35Hmm
02:39Right
02:53Mrs. Estelle Glennon
02:56Mrs. Hope Glennon
03:03Must be rather fun being pregnant at the same time as your sister-in-law
03:06Yes
03:08Two more for the clan
03:09Grandchild 10 and Grandchild 11 for the Glennons
03:12Family in Belfast are laying bets
03:14On which is born first and what the weights will be
03:15Well it may well be quite a close run thing
03:18Due dates eight days apart
03:20Do you have family over here as well?
03:22Hope's husband's working as a welder at the Barbican site
03:24My Michael's doing the same but on an oil rig
03:27So they took me in to live with them
03:29It's just us in London really
03:33So
03:35Four years since your first baby
03:37And this one's going to be my last
03:39Unless I get another boy and then I might try again for a wee girl
03:42We've got a pill to help you choose how many
03:45With no control over anything else
03:47You'd think science would have it all sorted by now
03:51We'll have it soon
03:52Do you think?
03:53The head's definitely engaged
03:55With a second baby that is usually the sign that things are about to get moving
03:59I was thinking of taking castor oil
04:01Or going all modern and having a curry
04:03My advice Mrs Glennon is to leave well alone
04:07Chances are all you'll do is upset your tummy
04:10And if labour gets going anyway
04:12You're in for a dismal combination of events
04:15Good things come to those who wait eh
04:17Well you come into the maternity home
04:20As soon as things start moving
04:21We'll look after you
04:24The shoemaker and his wife
04:27Never saw the little elves again
04:29But from that time
04:32Good luck was always with them
04:35They were rich and happy
04:37For the rest of their lives
04:43That is the end of the story
04:48I could listen to you read all day
04:50You've got ever such a nice voice
04:52I have to try to tell him the story through my tone of voice
04:56But we're still not sure how much English he understands
05:01Well
05:02Kiddies are kiddies aren't they
05:03All they really understand is how much they're loved
05:08And in here if someone's coming at him with a needle
05:11I keep telling myself
05:13Cancer treatment would bewilder him if he spoke fluent English
05:17But perhaps the more he could comprehend
05:19The more frightening it would be
05:21You have to hand it to the National Health though
05:23All the nurses keep saying there's a real chance he could be cured
05:27Yes they do
05:29The new chemotherapy is such a huge advance on what went before
05:32Fingers crossed eh
05:47I always loved a community event
05:49Even as a child
05:50Every day was a community event when I was growing up
05:52My parents were in a boarding school for boys
05:55Rosalind
05:56Your mother's on the telephone
05:58Speak of the devil
06:01You must take in as much fluid as you can Harry
06:04Once the head goes on
06:06You won't be able to drink for hours
06:08I won't be able to visit the bathroom either
06:10Oh this is also true
06:12Grandma please explain to me again about the Easter Bunny
06:15It's a mythical creature of pagan origin
06:18Which goes from house to house
06:20Delivering sweet treats to children
06:22So it's not Christian then
06:26It's best we don't quiz the connection too closely
06:29Think I prefer Christmas
06:43Welcome everyone to the Easter egg hunt
06:49The rules are very simple
06:51Everyone taking part will be given a basket
06:54And there are more than 200 chocolate eggs
06:58Hidden nearby
06:59Each wrapped in different coloured foil
07:01The aim is to find six eggs
07:04One pink, one blue, one green, one yellow, one purple
07:09And one orange
07:10And the winners are the first child in each age group
07:15To find all six
07:17You can search anywhere within the boundaries marked by the carrot bunting
07:22And if you're little
07:24And need a helper
07:25Then look out for the people wearing an Easter egg batch
07:29The bell if you would please Reggie
07:36You may begin
07:40And meanwhile there is tea and signal cake for the grown-ups
07:43And if you'd like a hot crust bun
07:45Just ask the Easter bunny
07:48I couldn't believe it when my mother said she and my father were coming to visit
07:52I've lived here for two years and they haven't been once
07:54Better late than never I suppose
07:56They talk about being progressive
07:57And voting for the Liberal Party
07:59But I always have to go to Leicestershire to visit them
08:02Or meet them in a smart tea room in London
08:04If they happen to be in town
08:06So if they're now going to go to the trouble of trekking all the way to Poplar
08:10All the more reason to make them welcome
08:12Oh gosh
08:14I'm not being very honoured thy father and thy mother am I?
08:18You should ask Violet if we can leave the bunting up
08:23I'm going to welcome them with open arms
08:26I've told them so much about you
08:27And they do seem keen to meet
08:29Have they never said anything about where I'm from?
08:33They've said you must be very enterprising to have come all the way from British Guyana
08:47Seems like five minutes since you was in the cups
08:51Oh, we're doing very well
08:53We've got a pink one
08:55A blue one
08:56And a green one already
08:58What other colours do we need, Donna?
09:00Yellow
09:00That's right
09:03And look
09:03There's one over there
09:05On top of the dustbin
09:06What a funny place to put it
09:16I'll lift you up, but you must try not to touch the bin lid
09:26Harry
09:27Harry
09:28What is the matter?
09:29I think there's a dog in its death throes
09:35There's foam round his mouth
09:36I've seen dogs like this in the street in Delhi
09:39Stay there
09:40I'm going for assistance
09:45Police, ambulance or fire
09:48Police, urgently to St. Wilbur's School, Hendy Street
09:57Everybody back
10:00Everybody back
10:05The easter egg hunt is suspended
10:08That means stopped, Mandy
10:10I know
10:12Come over with me
10:18Nobody crosses this line
10:20First of all, the civil defence
10:22Establish and control the crisis area
10:28Heaven's done murder, Troy
10:29We've enough to contend with
10:31Without children getting knocked down
10:35What would this mean?
10:40If we had to come away
10:41How can it be safe for Daddy?
10:43Let's go inside, honey
10:46Vet reports for a rabid dog, sir
10:48It's a dead dog now
10:50Dr. Turner
10:51I'm on the police surgeon road
10:53Sir
10:54It'll have to be taken for a post-mortem
10:56And this whole area needs to be cleansed
11:00It has to be dealt with according to the rabies protocol
11:04Mandy Hussain
11:07Kevin Rendergast
11:10Teddy Turner
11:17Everton Wheatley
11:19Yes
11:21John Muscatelli
11:23As soon as the police give us permission
11:25Baloo and I will walk with you to St. Oswald's Hall
11:28Where you can be collected by your parents
11:32Should I be serving butterfly cakes or kennel meat?
11:42This feels awfully close to home, Dr. Turner
11:46You read about rabies happening in places like Germany
11:49That the squirrels get it there
11:51But it can spread
11:52From Germany to France to England
11:56There was that case in Surrey last year
11:58The rabid dog that ran amok
12:00Days after it came out of quarantine
12:02I'll never forget seeing the news
12:04Watching them rounding up people's pets
12:06The results of the tests on the body
12:08Won't be through for at least two days
12:11We have to find a way of keeping people calm
12:18Cushions all ready
12:20If you turn around you can reverse into the chair
12:22Like the occupational therapist showed you
12:24I do not need instructions
12:26And I do not need a cushion
12:29The only good thing about your mother not being with us anymore
12:32Is that I am able to jettison her excessive soft furnishings
12:37She liked keeping things cosy, Dad
12:40She liked a lot of things
12:43She liked Easter, as it happened
12:44And kiddies
12:45It would have broken her heart seeing that party stopped
12:48It needed to be stopped
12:50Have you any idea how much damage a rabid dog can do?
12:53I've seen that man foaming at the mouth on the public information films
12:57That upset your mother no end
13:01You're missing her, aren't you, Dad?
13:08What do you think?
13:17Shall I make a cup of tea?
13:27Chai
13:29If you walk out with a man for nigh on five months
13:32Without introducing him to your parents
13:33You're going to get nervous when that day rolls wrong
13:38I knew my relationship with Cyril was going to be serious
13:40Right from the very start
13:43Didn't we all?
13:44I've known all my life that they are people with opinions
13:49I had opinions too
13:50To begin with
13:52If that made you scared of theirs
13:54Then I'm sorry
13:55Have you changed your mind, Joyce?
14:01I think
14:02The world at large is
14:05Starting to change
14:06If only a little bit
14:08And you two are happy
14:10I really, really want my parents to see that
14:12I don't think anyone could miss it
14:29Goodbye
14:35I thought I'd come in early
14:36But I had no idea how close to us that dog was until just now
14:40Have there been any developments overnight?
14:42The Ministry of Agriculture seems to be in charge of the response
14:45Agriculture
14:46And I'm a health visitor, not a farmer
14:49They say everyone has to sit tight
14:51Until we know for certain that the animal was rabid
14:53But what do they mean by sit tight?
14:56Are we all supposed to stay indoors?
14:57The school's been closed
14:58The children were meant to be going back today
15:01Meanwhile, Mrs Buckle has called a public meeting
15:04In an attempt to quell panic
15:05She won't be told it's as likely
15:07To fan the flames of hysteria as it is to damp them down
15:14Nanata's house midwife speaking
15:16This is Estelle Glennon?
15:18Is that nursery award?
15:19It is
15:20Are you in labour, Estelle?
15:21No
15:22But I think it's Hope's turn
15:25Well, there you go, man
15:34No, Mrs Kelly
15:35We do not offer the rabies vaccine at this surgery
15:40Yes, I can make a note of the fact that your children were at the easter egg hunt
15:43Thank you for calling
15:46How may I help you, ladies?
15:47I think I'm in labour
15:48There's the old word said she'd meet us here
15:50Don't come near her
15:51Don't come near her
15:52She's been scratched by a cat
15:59I am beginning to resent the success of the Dublin anti-rabies campaign
16:04It's made everyone think they're going to die from infected animals, Salida
16:08If it carries on like this, you're going to have to appeal for calm through a megaphone
16:12I'll take one to the public meeting
16:14In the meantime, we've just ascended my 12 o'clock
16:19You'll be pleased to hear it's a simple case of bunions
16:31Dad, I can do that
16:32You're interrupting my method
16:34You've got collapsed vertebra
16:36I haven't got collapsed dignity
16:37I'm trying to help Dad
16:39The best way you can help me is to get out of the house and find a way to make
16:44a living
16:44Nobody wants yoga or meditation classes
16:47I'm not that keen on them myself
16:51Your mum would cry her eyes out if she saw the way you drifted
16:56Good afternoon, district nurse
16:58You come to give me my rabies, jab
17:00Have you got any symptoms?
17:02Because if you have, it's too late for the vaccine
17:14Things are starting to get going
17:19Not very much in the way of dilation
17:21But there is a little bit of water leaking
17:23So I think we'll be keeping you in
17:24I'll be back in two shakes of lamb's tail
17:28I can't see any gas
17:30They said there'd be gas
17:32It'll be in the delivery room, won't it?
17:34I only needed one whiff of it last time
17:36And they say the second one's easier
17:42Which isn't to say the first is terrible
17:44If it was, I wouldn't be doing it again, would I?
17:49That was a nasty old precious saw you had there
17:51Quite deep
17:53They said I was way too long laying on my back in hospital
17:57I think this new soreness is because the belt on your trousers is pressing down on it
18:02I caught him rubbing it with disinfectant saying that it stings
18:04Out!
18:07He will not stop fussing over me
18:13Yeah, Rich
18:15Well, I feel sorry for the dog too
18:17But the police didn't kill him
18:19He was poorly
18:21And he passed away
18:22But it's sad to die by the pins
18:27Fred?
18:29Have you got any disinfectant?
18:31I saw a nasty little mongrel sniffing around my laundry at steps
18:36Well, from that shelf there
18:38And, uh, ten pence off if you buy the bleach as well
18:43All dogs must be kept on leaves
18:46All cats must be kept in
18:48It's going to get worse than this if they build that channel tonight
19:01Oh, Mrs. Turner, you do look tired
19:05How's the little man doing?
19:07The first cycle of treatment is now underway
19:10No vomiting or diarrhea so far
19:13But he's not quite himself
19:16It's young, hi, holy
19:21I have permission from Sister Julianne to come in the evenings
19:24If that would help you to get back to your own children
19:27Oh, it would
19:29He needs so much love
19:32And there are so few people that he trusts
19:37I don't want any more gasp
19:39It's made me sick twice now
19:44I can see what's happening
19:48This cheeky monkey's decided to lie on its back
19:50So its spine's pressing against yours
19:52Is that bad?
19:54Well, it's a little easier when they're lying face down
19:56With their head correctly tucked in
19:58But you've got a bit of a non-conformist here
20:00I'm telling you, nurse
20:02The one thing his baby isn't is a Protestant
20:16Thank you, Sister Veronica
20:17That concludes the first part of our presentation
20:22Thank you for the slideshow
20:25Why didn't it mention the improperly regulated pet shops?
20:29You can't buy monkeys on the commercial road
20:35Because we are here tonight
20:37To try to allay your fears
20:41I used to be a steeplejack
20:43I was always running into bats
20:45Can you get it from bats?
20:47Bats can carry various diseases
20:50Including rabies
20:52Even in this country
20:53You must always seek medical help
20:56If you've been bitten by a bat
21:04The body is ready to push now, Hope
21:06But we need you to slow everything down
21:09Slow it down
21:11Down
21:11Down, Hope
21:14Hope, all is well
21:17We're going to use this pain now
21:19And we're going to make it work for us
21:32Allow me to remind you all of the facts
21:36We currently do not have any confirmed cases of rabies in Poplar
21:41Nor do we have anyone presenting with symptoms of rabies
21:46The slides didn't make it clear what the symptoms are
21:48Yeah, that's right
21:49That's right
21:51That's right
21:51That's right
21:59They're not at the house
22:00Sister Julianne speaking
22:01Hello, Sister
22:02Could you possibly send reinforcements over to the maternity home?
22:06Early symptoms can look a bit like ordinary flu
22:09With fever, nausea, aches and pains
22:13All very easy to dismiss
22:15But once the virus starts affecting the nervous system
22:20Things become more distinct
22:22Muscle spasms
22:24Anxiety
22:25Confusion
22:28Paralysis
22:29Seizures
22:30And thirst
22:32Coupled with a violent fear of drinking fluids
22:37Even water
22:42It's horrible
22:43I know
22:45That's why we have to take such care
23:02Help me
23:04Oh, no, I can't
23:07...
23:08No, no, no, no, no, no
23:13Hope, with the next contraction we need one long, strong, brave push
23:18That could well give us baby's head
23:20And the worst will be

28:09La oferta de mi compañĂa siempre está.
28:11TĂş saliĂł a Humphrey Bogart.
28:13All you have to do is whistle.
28:17Es actualmente Lauren Bacall
28:19que ha dicho eso a Humphrey Bogart,
28:20pero yo tomo como un compliment.
28:24Me agradezco las cosas que te han dicho.
28:26TĂş eres realmente muy kind.
28:34ÂżPuedo su armadura hurtin' him?
28:36Yo he rompido una vez y fue agonĂa.
28:39Baby's bones are very soft
28:40and Doctor will be keeping an eye on him
28:43in case he's restless and needs something for the pain.
28:48Wait till I tell him what he put us all through.
28:52It'll make a good tale
28:53once he's old enough to listen.
28:56Now, I need to take a look at your stitches.
28:58But if they're playing the game,
29:00we'll treat you to a little session with the heat lamp.
29:03What happened here, Stel?
29:04Your sister-in-law,
29:06I believe she popped off home
29:08once she heard the good news
29:10to give you a time to rest.
29:12No.
29:13That's not what we agreed.
29:14She was going to be the first to hold him.
29:17Something's wrong if she didn't do that.
29:23It's rather delightful that your journey to matrimony started here.
29:27I ought to put up a plaque.
29:30There was a lot of sadness at the beginning,
29:32Mr. Scarisbrick,
29:33even though there was happiness in the end.
29:35Yes, of course.
29:37Now, Lady Elwood,
29:39to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?
29:41You are looking really remarkably well.
29:43I'm not expecting a baby as it happens.
29:46I'm hoping for professional insight
29:48into maternity care in Britain in 1971.
29:50Oh, are you tired of the medical landscape in Poplar?
29:54I'm as impressed as ever
29:55by what's accomplished at Nunata's house.
29:58But my eyes have been opened by living in New York.
30:02Yeah, well, I've made more than one study over there myself.
30:04It's like a different world.
30:05Certainly a different country.
30:07I learned a great deal
30:08by simply visiting American hospitals.
30:10And now I want to see if I might apply that knowledge
30:13within a British context.
30:15Well, you are, of course,
30:17most welcome to spend some time here observing.
30:19Thank you.
30:21A little bird tells me
30:22you're planning on retiring very soon.
30:25Ah, yes.
30:26The golf club beckons.
30:29And selling the clinic.
30:59It's nice to see the balloons up.
31:01One down and one to go.
31:04They're for Anthony, really.
31:07Are you sure Hope's going to be all right?
31:09She's doing very nicely.
31:12And the paediatrician from St Cuthbert's
31:14is going to call in and check on baby's collarbone.
31:17Did you know they had chosen the name Niall?
31:21But Hope's all right.
31:23Her main concern at the moment is you.
31:28And I think I share it.
31:34It will be a relief to be out of the surgery for an hour,
31:36even if we barely have time for a sandwich.
31:39The public meeting did no good whatsoever.
31:42The phone is still ringing continually.
31:48What was that?
31:49Stay back, stay back.
31:51Come on.
31:53You need dog biscuits,
31:55not custard creams.
31:57They're getting her in the shed, aren't they?
31:58That's what matters.
31:59Be careful, Fred.
32:00Fred, have you sent for the police?
32:02They're supposed to be on their way.
32:04Should I go and ring them again?
32:08Oh, well done.
32:21¡SuscrĂbete al canal!
32:44Well, all's well that ends, well...
32:47And there you have it. An object lesson in anti-climax and a British understatement.
32:53It would have been different in India. At home, the fear is always real.
32:58Yes.
33:08Me and Hope, we were terrified that somehow our men would get mixed up with the Republican army.
33:14That we wouldn't know if they'd be in danger. Or causing danger.
33:19But they wanted to get out from early on.
33:21Is that why you all left Belfast?
33:25They lost their jobs in the shipyard anyway. Catholics did.
33:29And men need to work. But women need family. So we stuck together.
33:33And it's a wonderful thing to see, Estelle. A bond like yours is something to be envied.
33:39I thought at first that it wouldn't touch us. There was so much talk for so long.
33:44There were demonstrations and they turned into riots.
33:48But you can keep away from them.
33:51You can't keep away from bombs.
33:54They hide them.
33:56And then they set them off in places where they'll do most damage.
34:00Places like banks.
34:02Estelle.
34:03Were you caught up in a bomb blast?
34:06In the bank.
34:07In the bank.
34:09Estelle.
34:10Estelle.
34:11Try to stay calm.
34:13You're safe here.
34:16You're safe now.
34:18This will stop you taking in too much oxygen.
34:22There was the screaming.
34:24And when I heard Hope.
34:26When I heard Hope, it was the same.
34:27Screaming.
34:29Screaming.
34:29You're safe now.
34:31When this is over, I'm going to walk you to the surgery to see the doctor.
34:44Afternoon.
34:45What's all this about a whiffy sink?
34:49Can't have that with the in-laws coming round.
34:51Thanks, Fred.
34:52I was up till midnight repainting all the skirting boards.
34:55I don't know what's got into me.
34:56I love getting to you.
35:00I brought you some pop lights.
35:02And I brought my plunger.
35:05I heard my mother giving birth more than once.
35:08But it was the last one where she screamed and screamed.
35:14There were no more babies after that because it killed her.
35:23Nobody ever told me why she died.
35:26I just remember the mattress being burned because it was covered in blood.
35:32Even 20 years ago, death in childbirth was very, very rare.
35:37Now it's rarer still.
35:40One thing I can promise you is that your mother didn't die of pain.
35:45And we are going to make sure that you feel as little pain as possible.
35:50I can't do it.
35:52Yes, you can.
35:54And we will help you.
35:58Sister Juniang is one of the most soothing and resourceful midwives I know.
36:03But in New York, Estelle would have been simply booked in for an epidural.
36:06And a calm, controlled or completely painless birth would follow.
36:11I've read about epidural anaesthesia.
36:14I've been to lectures.
36:16I've never seen one performed because they don't offer it at St Cuthbert's.
36:20Which is extremely backward in my view.
36:22At the Lady Emily, you can have one for ÂŁ20.
36:25ÂŁ20?
36:27If you saw the difference it makes, you'd think it was cheap at the price.
36:32Have you been to the Lady Emily recently?
36:35Yes.
36:37I can connect you to Mr. Scarrowsbrick if you'd like.
36:42Not such a good day-to-day.
36:44He's needed some antiemetics.
36:53A parcel with a wee hat arrived from London.
36:55I was mother in Hong Kong this morning.
36:58But you wouldn't even let me try it on him.
37:00He'll settle down.
37:02He's a lucky little fellow in some ways.
37:06So many mothers looking after him.
37:11You go, Mrs. Turner.
37:13Back to your other children.
37:15I'll hold the fort.
37:23I'm heading down the black sail.
37:26Do you want to come?
37:28No, thanks.
37:29I'm not feeling great.
37:30And I'm writing letters for a couple of factory jobs.
37:34Factory jobs?
37:36And I'm also planning a haircut.
37:40I've had enough adventures to last me a lifetime, Dad.
37:45Just let me come home.
37:48Children are having a picnic tea upstairs.
37:51Sausage rolls and crisps.
37:53I'm assuming that's because the grown-ups are discussing...
37:58Odyssey.
37:59Yes.
38:01Sister, I am trying to move things on with regard to epidural provision at St. Cuthbert's.
38:08Do you think that's wise?
38:09We'd never be able to offer it for home births and even at the maternity home.
38:14It requires an anaesthetist.
38:16It does.
38:17But we can refer patients to deliver in hospital, in the GP unit.
38:23Some mothers, like Gastel Glennon, would really benefit.
38:27So I have arranged to see an epidural block being performed tomorrow.
38:33At the Lady Emily clinic.
38:36We do know the Order's dealings with them to an abrupt end.
38:41They were performing abortions there when such a thing was still illegal.
38:45But I have something I need to tell you, too.
38:51Also about policy.
38:53For the animal you love and couldn't leave behind.
38:56And for you or someone like you, death in a manner that is beyond description.
39:02Whichever way you look at it, rabies means death.
39:17Sister Julianne, this is terrible.
39:20Why didn't you tell us sooner?
39:22I needed time to consider the Order's position.
39:27And I still do.
39:29Does it make it easier or harder?
39:31That the National Health have made their intentions so clear.
39:34But there must be a chance that they'll keep funding the Nartas House when they take control from the Council.
39:39Not if we insist on retaining our religious clothing.
39:44Sister, if you close down in Potlars, so must we.
39:48Our practice is enmeshed with yours.
39:52I know.
39:55And there's so much work to do.
40:01If we don't agree to the new terms, we will receive no more funds from the end of this year.
40:08I've told them I will give my decision at the end of August.
40:11On the feast of St. Raymond Linnatus?
40:14Yes.
40:16And in the meantime, we go on.
40:28Oh, Lady U, Dr. Turner.
40:30Glad you could join us.
40:31Mrs. Duchenne is the most delightful lady.
40:34So very accommodating.
40:41How are we feeling, Mrs. Duchenne?
40:43Fine.
40:44Good.
40:49Where's Joel today?
40:51Is he out looking for work?
40:52No, he's not.
40:54He's off colour and lying down.
40:56It's like he's lost all his sparks since he's come home.
40:59I don't know why he doesn't want to keep on adventuring.
41:01Do you think maybe he's just a homebody?
41:03He doesn't have to be.
41:04Not in the modern world.
41:06I had to be a steeplejerk because my uncle was.
41:09Spent my life mending chimneys.
41:11Once.
41:12Just once.
41:14I was at the top of this church spire, pulling up a weathervane.
41:18You could see for miles.
41:21And all I saw was all the places I would never go.
41:25Joel certainly grabbed the opportunities he had with both hands.
41:29No one else round here had a kid who went to an ashram.
41:31It's the kind of thing the Beatles did.
41:34And I was proud of you.
41:36Did you tell him that?
41:38What?
41:39Did you tell him you were proud?
41:41Oh no.
41:42We're not soft like that.
41:46It's one thing to read about it.
41:49It's quite another to see it in action.
41:53It shouldn't just be for people who can afford to pay, should it?
41:57No.
41:59I'm going to talk to St. Cuthbert's.
42:02I'm going to talk to St. Cuthbert's.
42:03I'm going to talk to St. Cuthbert's.
42:04It's the kind of thing.
42:05When you grow you'll be a king.
42:08Never do a thing.
42:114 and 20 blackbirds sing along.
42:14Royal gifts they all will bring.
42:18When you are a king
42:20Everywhere you go
42:23People bowing low
42:26Carriages to take you anywhere
42:28People never touch a thing
42:32When you are a king
42:41Shoot black on your face
42:44You're really a disgrace
42:46Mommy smiles all the while
42:49Because she loves you
42:50She will worry so
42:52And if you're good you'll know
42:54That when you grow you'll be a king
42:58Never do a thing
43:00Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
43:04Royal gifts they all will bring
43:08When you are a king
43:10Everywhere you go
43:13People bowing low
43:16Carriages to take you anywhere
43:18People never touch a thing
43:22When you are a king
43:27When you are a king
43:31Never do a thing
43:33Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
43:37Royal gifts they all will bring
43:39When you are a king
43:43When you are a king
43:44Everywhere you go
43:46People bowing low
43:48When you are a king
43:53I appreciate Mrs. Glennon is a special case
43:56You could always persuade us to switch entirely into our care
44:00I am not convinced that that would do her any good at all
44:04She needs a lot of care and a lot of attention
44:07Epidural anesthesia requires the same
44:09Which is why we've yet to introduce the practice
44:12Philip
44:13St. Cuthbert's is a good hospital
44:15It's even an innovative hospital
44:19I have respect for innovative things
44:22I'm saying this in the kindest and most respectful way possible Patrick
44:26But
44:29You're a dying breed
44:30I know I am
44:33And I don't know if my way of delivering babies
44:37Has much time left at all
44:38Do you think the national health is going to close you down?
44:40There's a big shakeup coming
44:42And when it does
44:43I want to know
44:44That the women who would otherwise have been in my care
44:47Are going to be looked after properly
44:50That they are going to trade what we can give them
44:53For something that might just
44:55Might be even better
44:56And that starts with us doesn't it
44:58It will end with you too
45:00Joel
45:02I thought you said you'd come down for something to eat
45:06I've opened a tin of oxtail
45:19Greetings Mr. Bagnall
45:20I have come from the surgery
45:21With a new prescription for your ointment
45:23Dad
45:24I can't move my legs
45:27He's at a temperature
45:29Joel
45:29I don't know what's wrong
45:38It's alright my friend
45:39I will fetch help for you
45:40First let me get you some water
45:49Then Mr. Parry called this morning
45:52And it's a yes
45:53We had two anaesthetists already raring to go
45:57And applying pressure from their end
45:58And he's content to have Estelle Glennon have epidural pain relief in the GP supervised unit
46:05Yes
46:06Mr. Parry will be there too
46:08In fact it's going to be a fairly crowded room
46:11Estelle is one of the most anxious and distressed women I've ever seen
46:16And if it helps her
46:18I have no reservations
46:20But what are the implications for you
46:22And for our practice
46:24It might put me out of business
46:27But it might give this place a fighting chance
46:30Of working in tandem with the National Health
46:32By delivering more babies in hospital
46:34Regardless of what they ask
46:35That might be the way ahead
46:37For all sorts of reasons
46:40Dr. Turner
46:41I'm afraid a very urgent call has just come in
46:47Hello darling
46:48Lovely to see you
46:50Mummy
46:51How do you do?
46:52Lovely to meet you
46:53Hello daddy
46:54Good afternoon Mrs Clifford
46:55Terribly good if you'd come and meet us
46:58Josephine has far more faith in this A to Z book than I do
47:02Well the underground was quite challenging enough
47:04Three two blinds
47:06We're staying with friends in Hampstead
47:09Hampstead is a tricky journey from Poplar
47:12Cyril comes to pick me up from women's liberation meetings
47:14If they finish late
47:15Well very gallant of them
47:16Although I expect you to intervene if she starts wearing dungarees
47:30And you've no memory of being bitten or scratched by anything
47:34While you were an idiot
47:35Bitten and scratched
47:38But I can't make an ashram
47:41But I've been fine
47:42How long ago did this happen Joe?
47:45Weeks
47:45Well
47:46Must be something else then
47:52It can take up to three months for rabies symptoms to appear Joe
47:57Have you been worrying about this?
48:01We are going to call an ambulance to take you directly to the London Hospital of Tropical Medicine
48:08They'll know what to do
48:14Tell me
48:17In this social work line
48:19Do you do any work with maladjusted boys?
48:21It's increasing all the time
48:23The council have just opened a special educational unit for them
48:27Which we're really hoping will pave the way for change
48:29We've taken a few of the odder types into our own school
48:33But we seem to have sorted them all out with plenty of fresh air and a bit of discipline
48:41Well this is a first class Madeira
48:46Cyril made it
48:48Oh full marks dear
48:52And now Rosalind tells us that she's getting confirmed
48:56Did you have a hand in that?
48:58We're different denominations
48:59But it gives us a common interest
49:02I'll show you the chaplain in an artist's house when I take you over to meet my colleagues
49:06It was joining them for prayers that got me thinking
49:09Well we always said that Rosalind could make up her own mind about being confirmed
49:14And some of our friends were quite shocked
49:17But we have always been, um, progressive thinkers
49:26More tea, Mrs Clifford
49:28Yes, please
49:30And expect Earl Grey
49:34As soon as you feel your first contraction
49:37You must contact Nanata's house
49:39And you and I will travel together by ambulance
49:41Dr. Turner will meet us at the hospital
49:46This...epidural
49:47You say it's brand new
49:49Newish
49:49It's catching on all over the country
49:51And I won't feel anything
49:52No pain
49:53None
49:54Nothing at all
49:55Between your tummy and your toes
49:58Everything is going to be as calm and controlled
50:02And as comfortable as we can make it for you
50:06Oh, darling
50:08I'm so proud of you
50:10We never entirely thought you'd be able to knuckle down to nursing
50:14But, um, well, you've proved us all wrong
50:16Ignore your mother
50:18She's such a wet blanket
50:19I never had any doubts
50:21At all
50:23Now, Sister Julianne
50:24Really was absolutely delightful
50:28Can you see why I love Nanata's house?
50:30Oh, yes
50:30It's very quaint
50:33And what about Cyril?
50:37Charming
50:37Hmm
50:39Yes, he's, um, charming
50:42Impressive, even
50:45But really, he's, uh, not the chap for you, is he?
50:52He is the chap for me, actually
50:54That's why we're going out together
50:57He is in the middle of a divorce
50:59This is the modern world
51:02He is also black
51:04And you're going to have to look beyond that
51:06We haven't said one word about him being black
51:09And I think that is to our credit
51:11Frankly
51:13You don't have to say anything
51:15I saw it the moment you met
51:17He is a perfectly decent, respectable man
51:21We just, uh, don't want you to have any regrets
51:24That is all
51:27Now, can we have a kiss before we part?
51:30Hmm?
51:32Or go send us back to Hampstead in the doldrums?
52:02Yes?
52:03Yes?
52:09It's early for coffee, isn't it?
52:11Nurse Aylward telephoned to say Estelle Glennon is en route to St Cuthbert's by ambulance with labour pains
52:16Can you tell Mr Parry I am on my way?
52:19Of course
52:19Doctor, I also received a call from the London Hospital of Tropical Medicine
52:24About Joel Bagnell?
52:26Lysavirus rabies has been confirmed
52:28And the paralysis is spreading very rapidly
52:38I keep thinking of all the times I've looked at him through windows
52:43I looked at him through a window on the day that he was born
52:46At the hospital
52:50And I used to wave at him through the front room window
52:52When I was coming home from work
52:54When he was just a little nipper
52:58The consultant said you can go inside and sit with him
53:02And his mum and me
53:04We washed him through the glass at the airport
53:06When he flew off on his big adventure
53:08Go to him, Mr Bagnell
53:10The food I have brought you will keep
53:12I will leave it here
53:13Thanks
53:16There's things I need to tell him
53:19While he's still alive to hear
53:37Well done Estelle, well done
53:40Any moment now
53:42You should feel the pain relief starting to take effect
53:45It's already passing through that tiny tube
53:49Blood pressure's stable
53:50The fun starts now, Estelle
53:52If I can feel the pain stopping
53:55It's like everything inside my body is going quiet
53:58That's what we want
54:07Rosalind, I know their reaction wasn't what you wanted
54:10And I hoped it would be better to
54:12But you didn't expect it to be, did you?
54:17No, I did not
54:20To them, I was always going to be too different
54:27Well, I'm different too now
54:30And if they can't accept that
54:33If they can't accept you
54:36They're going to have to accept that
54:38Their place in my life has now become much smaller
54:40Please don't cut them off
54:43Nobody should ever cut their parents off
54:46However much hurt they have caused
54:48However ignorant they have been
54:51It's hard
54:52But Cyril
54:54You've had it harder
54:57You've had to push up with prejudice
54:58Ever since you've been here
55:04Hold my hand
55:14I want everyone to see
55:21This is a really strong contraction
55:23Push now
55:24Push as hard as you can
55:26That's beautiful, Estelle
55:28Keep going
55:29Keep going
55:30How are you feeling, Estelle?
55:32I think I'm
55:34Excited
55:34But peaceful
55:41Contraction?
55:42Right, Estelle
55:43We're doing this together now
55:45I'm pulling
55:46I think you're pushing
55:46Come on
55:48Come on
55:50Am I doing it?
55:51Am I doing it?
55:55Yes
55:56Yes, you are
56:02Oh, don't, Estelle
56:12It's a girl
56:32It's quite something, isn't it, sister?
56:34It is the future
56:35And the future's going to hold so many things
56:39You're beautiful
56:48Choice is too often
56:51A privilege not granted
56:53We must take what is given
56:56And surrender what God takes
57:00But pain is never all there is
57:02But pain is never all there is
57:03There is endurance and resilience
57:05There is tenderness and strength
57:09All these gifts
57:11All these gifts
57:12Forced through like sunlight
57:14Often at a cost
